NSW beaches reopen after shark attack

Beaches have reopened on NSW's mid north coast after a shark mauled a body boarder.

Dale Carr, 38, is recovering in hospital after suffering leg, back and stomach injuries in the attack at Lighthouse Beach on Saturday evening.

The Port Macquarie-Hastings Council says beaches reopened at 6am on Monday after extensive air patrols.

The council says it will continue to work closely with Surf Life Saving NSW to identify any public safety threats.

Mr Carr was attacked by a suspected three-metre bull shark while body boarding with a mate.
